Ask Us Anything! Our job is to help students, faculty, staff, and community members make effective use of the library and its resources. We offer assistance and guidance at any point in the research process, from planning to publication. 

We can help:

• Find answers to specific questions
• Guide you through the use of our search tools
• Track down library materials
• Connect you to research and support services
• Refer you to specialists in other departments and libraries across campus and around the world 

Ready reference assistance to quickly locate materials or services is available on an immediate basis during open hours at the Ask Us Desk on the First Floor of William T. Young Library.
